If you are interested in music and film…and laughing, you should not miss MVA happening this Wednesday from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. at the Cinebarre on 151/Brevard Road behind Biltmore Mall.  UPDATE: This event starts at 6 p.m. and it is recommended that you arrive in advance in order to get seats.

In it’s third year, MVA is an event developed by the Future of Asheville Music (FoAM, a networking group for musicians) to encourage creative collaborations between area film makers and musicians…and, the best part is: not all musicians and film makers are professionals.  Every year a number of new musicians and film makers are chosen for MVA.  So, videos are screened in advance folks.

For instance, this is the song we all left singing in 2008–made by a high school brother/sister duo:

You’re also sure to see videos from your local favorites and likely walk out with some new bands to check out live in the area…and some film makers you may want to hire for your next project.  Folks, they roll out the red carpet.  Come check it out.

Big Tip: if you are planning to go, get your $5 ticket in advance.  The event sells out every year.  How to do that?  More details here at Erin Scholze’s Dream Spider Blog.

Graphic Designer/Musician/Creative Force, Jenny Greer of SoundMind Media and Jen and the Juice is the driving push behind this event.  In fact, it’s highly likely that you will find Jenny at the root of much of the creative music events and projects in town!    She’s seen here, in her patriotic wig, with some of the 2009 MVA committee:
